portfolio. Check individual course

Many
200 level courses are also open to all students without prerequisite. However,
in some programs there are strict prerequisites, and the courses are only open

300 and 400
level courses
Most
300 and 400 level courses have stated pre-requisites, and are open only to
students who have a background in the subject.
The classes are limited to an enrollment of 15 students; Upper College Seminars

Irregular Program Form: needed if you wish to register for more
than 18 credits (you must have a GPA of 3.6 or above, or if you intend to be a
